Iñigo Martínez visits Barça amid rumors about his possible signing

The FC Barcelona receives this Sunday in the Spotify Camp Nou to the Athletic Club in the corresponding duel to the tenth day of LaLiga Santander 2022-2023 (from the 21:00 hours). It supposes a special meeting by the return of Ernesto Valverde, the one who will return to which went his house until principles of 2020 when it was destituido like Barcelona technician.

Of face to the party there are several protagonists in the team of the bilbaínos, begun by Iñigo Martínez that was very near of recalar in the picture of the City Condal in the past summer. The Barça saw it like the ideal alternative in case that it did not concretise the incorporation of Jules Koundé from the Seville. Finally, the French finish arriving and his traspaso remained parked.

The Barcelona, in fact, sent a proposal to the Athletic Club of 15 million euros. However, it was refused immediately because the ones of Saint Mamés alone were had to negotiate if it paid his clause of exit, that rose to the 80 'kilos', an inaccessible figure for the culés and any team of Spain.

This does that the Basque player was one of the big protagonists of the duel of this Sunday in the Spotify Camp Nou. It will be ttiular under the orders of Ernesto Valverde, the one who trusts fully in him to lead the defence of the Bilbao. It will defend to the players of the club in which, by question of 'luck', could finish playing.

Without agreement for the renewal

The future of Martínez still is in the air. The Athletic did him a proposal of renewal when it still was Aitor Elizegi in the presidency of the club and, with the arrival of Jon Uriarte, have kept the conversations of face to a possible agreement, but to date has remained in the attempt. The will of the Basques is that it remain a few years more, but first have to convince it.
